Chapter 130 Final Settlement.
The days following the incident with Stuart had turned out more stressful than Leonica could have ever imagined. For one, she had to pay several visit to the prescient, laying complaints, answering questions and undergoing investigations. After that, she had to tally her matter with her parents and boy was that not easy.
Despite how much Leonica had tried to reassure her parents, Cassandra to be precise, that she was alright, she wasn’t hurt or anything, the older woman still fussed over her. In a way, Leonica understood, seeing as something similar had happened, claiming a member of their family. So she decided not to put up much fight, and instead just allow her mother to worry over her.
The other people she had to tally her matter with were Leonardo and Anastasia. Between her parents and them, Leonica wasn’t sure which of them had worried more about her.
When Leonardo found out about the entire thing, he was enraged, and although the anger wasn’t directed at her, she had still feared it was. And even after he had calmed down, the look in his eyes as he stared at her, still filled her with fear. But at the same time, she could see how much he cared and she genuinely appreciated that.
And then there was the last person whom she had worried about rather than them worrying about her. Owen. Despite all the reassurances he had given her, and all the times he had called her and told her he was alright and that there was no need to worry about him, she still found herself worried.
Because she had seen the way his skin paled. Seen the way his eyelids fluttered as the paramedics rushed him into the ambulance. Seen the way blood pooled beneath his hand staining the white of his hoodie
And every time she thought about the fact that all that had been because of her, worry filled her up, and all she could think about was how he must have suffered.
Which was why, on the third day since the incident, Leonica found herself knocking on his door, fruit basket held tightly within her grasp.
"Come in." A familiar voice responded and Leonica stepped into the room.
Owen had his back to her, body cloaked in the usual hospital gown. When he turned around to look at her, Leonica could see that his condition was getting better. A smile formed on her lip and she stepped into the room, gently closing the door behind her.
"Hey," She said, offering him a tight smile.
